Using an Organic Facial Cleanser to Improve Your Skin
Posted by KM Herbals on Dec 6th 2020
Regularly cleansing your skin is an important part of any skincare routine. No matter how well you take care of yourself, your skin is bound to get oily and dirty throughout the day, even if these changes are barely noticeable to the naked eye. Between dead skin cells, excess makeup, and a variety of other substances, there’s more than enough reason to invest in a quality cleansing product.
A high-quality cleanser is one of the most effective ways to keep your face free of dirt and oil while also keeping your skin healthy. Organic facial cleansers, in particular, can help keep your skin clean and blemish-free, while assisting with makeup removal and toning as well.
We have put together some helpful information on the value of using natural cleansers, what differentiates them from other kinds of skincare products, and how you can develop a more effective skincare regimen with the right products.
What Does an Organic Facial Cleanser Do for Your Face?
If you aren’t already familiar with cleansers, you might be wondering what they do that a little soap and water can’t take care of on their own. While it’s true that a quality soap can help keep your skin clean, washing your face in this way isn’t always the best method if you want the healthiest complexion possible.
Consider the actual cleansing properties of the products you are using. Do they simply clean your face, or do they address other potential concerns as well? Soaps, on their own, aren’t always the most functional way of cleaning your face. Many rely on harsher ingredients that you wouldn’t necessarily want to use on a regular basis as a part of an ongoing skincare routine.
Organic cleansers offer a more efficient and often more effective alternative, formulated specifically for your face. They tend to be gentler and crafted with pore-cleansing and toning in mind, which is not a factor that is considered when it comes to most kinds of soaps, even better-quality ones. It’s far better to invest in a product that is not only specifically formulated to be used on your face, but that is also made with natural, wholesome ingredients.
An all-natural organic facial cleanser such as our Calendula Creme Cleanser has specific benefits that make it an even better option for your skin if you are serious about properly taking care of your skin’s needs. The ingredients used in a specific skin product can have a real impact on its overall effectiveness, which is why we make sure all of our products are crafted with high-quality botanicals and aromatherapy oils.
When Are The Best Times to Use a Facial Cleanser?
Even if you aren’t interested in putting together a complete skincare regimen, you still might be curious as to when you are supposed to use an organic facial cleanser for the best possible results. Every morning and every night? Once a day? On the weekends?
There’s certainly a number of different options, but generally speaking, if you want to get the most out of your cleanser, you should strive to use it about twice a day. In the mornings, before placing anything else on your skin, and at night, to remove any makeup or any dirt that has accumulated throughout the course of the day.
It’s important that your cleanser is used first, before any other kind of products such as moisturizers, toners, or cosmetics, because the whole purpose of a cleanser is to clean the skin. An effective cleansing product will wipe away or remove traces of other products, so using any kind of other skincare products before your cleanser is counterproductive. You also want to use a cleanser before anything else because it will create a “clean slate” and prime the skin for your makeup and other products.
It should be noted that a high-quality facial cleanser that is formulated with nourishing plant-based ingredients will not only help to cleanse the skin, but will aid in moisturizing and toning as well. For best results, you still probably want to use supplemental products however, especially if you need the benefits of a good toner or have dry skin that requires additional moisturization.
If you want to get the most out of your cleanser and reduce your chances of getting blemishes or irritated skin, you always want to remember to use your cleanser before going to bed. Any oil, makeup, or other substances that are on the skin would sit there all night and potentially clog your pores. Even if you don’t have to remove any makeup, you still want to make sure you are using your cleanser at the end of the day to ensure that your skin will be fresh and clean before laying down.
Simple and Effective Cleansing Routine
Once you have a cleanser that you like, you’re probably going to want to know how to use it properly in order to get better results. While any well-made product will be effective on its own, if you are trying to improve the overall appearance and health of your skin, you may want to consider developing a more comprehensive skincare routine that goes beyond simple cleansing.
An organic facial cleanser, while beneficial for your skin, can be used as a part of a larger regimen that takes into account all of your skincare needs. With a little direction and the right specially formulated aromatherapy skincare products, you can create a routine that will truly help improve the look and feel of your skin in every way.
Take Care of Your Skin in 6 Easy Steps
With these simple steps, you can kick off each day with an invigorating skincare routine that will not only help to keep your skin clean and free of blemishes but will also aid in toning and moisturizing your skin as well. This holistic approach to taking care of your skin necessitates the use of high-quality products that won’t hinder your efforts, so it’s worth investing in quality here if you want to truly benefit your skin.
1. You want to start any solid skincare routine with your cleanser of choice. We have several effective options in our store, such as our previously mentioned creme cleanser that features beneficial ingredients such as Aloe Vera and Calendula extract. We also have a soothing facial gel cleanser with Rose Geranium and Chamomile, as well as other plant-based products you can use according to your preference.
2. The next part of your skincare routine, before doing anything else, should be proper exfoliation. Depending on the kind of facial cleanser you use, you may be satisfied with the level of exfoliation provided, or you may want to consider using a dedicated exfoliating product or technique. Make sure that whichever method you choose, that your cleansing or exfoliating products are gentle and won’t cause irritation, as excess exfoliation can actually be bad for your skin, especially if you are using harsh products.
3. Once your skin is suitably clean, you will want to move on to toning. Even if you don’t typically use a toner, you may want to consider including an enriching plant-based facial toner such as our Bulgarian Rose Hydrosol & Toner, which is ideal for dry skin and can help your skin feel soothed and balanced.
4. Before you move onto your moisturizer of choice, this is where you want to use any additional products, like serums, that help with specific issues such as blemishes, dark circles, or sun damage.
5. Once you are ready, this is where you want to utilize a high-quality moisturizer. If your skin is dry and irritated, or otherwise not as healthy as it could be, there’s a fair chance that part of the problem is due to a lack of proper skin hydration. The right moisturizing products can soothe and restore your skin and are just what you need to top off your personal care regimen. We have an array of beneficial moisturizers, such as our Althea Rejuvenating Moisture Creme and our popular Dew Drops, handcrafted with the finest botanical ingredients specifically to help with dry skin.
6. The last component of any holistic skincare regimen is the use of the right cosmetics and other topical products, such as sunscreens. Regardless of which products you are using, strive to use ones that are made with quality ingredients that allow your skin to breathe and that won’t clog your pores. Part of any good skincare routine is preventive measures, which include not using toxic or irritating products in the first place. Your cleanser shouldn’t have to do all the work, part of the onus of keeping your skin healthy should involve using skin-friendly and environmentally-friendly products you can feel confident about.
Creating a beneficial skincare routine isn’t difficult with the right products. It’s important to consider the quality of the products you use however if you want to get results. There’s a world of difference between the kinds of mass-market lotions and creams you might be used to seeing in stores, and the enriching aromatherapy skincare products that we specialize in. Our products all include natural ingredients that are organic and wildcrafted whenever possible, for results you can truly feel.
The Importance of Using the Right Skincare Products
Regardless of your specific skin goals, the key to getting the right effects is in the products you are using to build your routine. Even if you don’t often stick to a full skincare regimen and you simply want an effective organic facial cleanser to help you clean your pores or remove makeup, you still want to ensure that each and every ingredient is worth putting on your body.
Do the ingredients in the products you use matter that much? To answer this question, just think about the food we eat and how it can potentially affect our health. It’s like asking if a double cheese-burger is as healthy or good for us as a fresh salad. We all know the answer, and the same general idea applies to what we put on our body, not just what we put inside it.
Proper skincare starts with impactful, natural ingredients that are safe, gentle, and full of beneficial compounds. The next most important element of effective skincare is putting these high-quality products to action with a great routine that covers everything your skin needs in order to look and feel great.
At KM Herbals, we strive to put only the finest quality ingredients in our line of cleansers and other skin and body care products.

When each ingredient is specifically chosen for its specific properties and formulated in just such a way in order to maximize its effectiveness, you come out with gels, creams, and other products that you can use in complete confidence, knowing that they won’t irritate your skin or detract from your skincare goals.
Part of what separates our products from the rest is our mentality when it comes to crafting them. We firmly believe in the power of botanicals and how the use of organic ingredients and aromatherapy oils can benefit our general health and wellness. A high-quality cleanser shouldn’t simply cleanse the skin, but provide a spa-like experience that soothes and revitalizes.
